Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Sportsbook Odds Comparison Compare sports betting odds across all major US sportsbooks in one API call. ### Input ```json { "api_key": "your-the-odds-api-key", "sport": "nba", "market": "h2h", "regions": "us", "max_events": 10 } ```` | Field | Description | |---|---| | `api_key` | Your key from [the-odds-api.com](https://the-odds-api.com) (free tier: 1000 req/mo) | | `sport` | `nba`, `nfl`, `mlb`, `nhl`, `ufc`, `soccer`, `ncaab`, `ncaaf` | | `market` | `h2h` (moneyline), `spreads`, `totals` | | `regions` | `us` (US books), `uk`, `au`, `eu` | ### Output Per-event JSON with: - **Best prices** per outcome with bookmaker name - **All bookmakers** — full comparison table - **Implied probability** — vig-free conversion - **Market margin** — total implied % + vig - **Arbitrage detection** — negative vig = arb opportunity ### Supported Books DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, PointsBet, Bet365, Pinnacle, Bovada, BetRivers, WynnBET, and more. ### Limits Free Apify account: $5/mo usage credit.
